Noted. Maybe not complicated algorithms though, but having the target move 
if you miss. Definately.

Oh yeah. I see what you mean - the section isn't specifically mentioned as 
such. I'll either re-write it as part of the other sections (as I had 
started to do), but I figure we are going to be referring to those sections 
often enough to seperate them. Although I suppose that can be left until 
that point arises, when the rules for the arena start getting long and 
repeating themselves often enough to do such a thing.

No problem. Some solutions work. :)
